What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
- Thread starter gurn
- Start date
Neighbor lost a couple trees next to the property line which took out a large sweetgum on my side. His was a short leaf pine and a maple that uprooted because of the soggy winter we had. I cut the sweetgum up a couple weeks ago, but didn’t get it picked up. Cut the pine and maple today and piled all the brush for chipping. The gum I just cut into short logs (about 6 ft), but I got 3 fair size saw logs outta the pine. I cut the maple enough to push back to his side of the line. Did quite a bit of grapple work and pulled on 3 inch stump.
Still have a couple small oaks and another fair size short leaf pine to get down off my trees. Told him I’d put ‘em on the ground, but I’m taking the logs. Should have a bit of rough lumber sometime this summer if I can find a local sawyer.
I was pretty impressed at how big a log my little LX could lift and move.

Moved some mulch into the gardens and got them tilled today (cut him a little break on the partial load
, his first time trying to scoop out of a pile with it and it’s not a hst tractor 
)
He'll learn to love running that tractor more than he does video games. The more he's outside, the fewer problems he'll have. He'll learn to pay attention when you tell him how to do something too. Learning how to learn is probably the hardest thing there is to learn.View attachment 97595

If it weren't for the deck and the dirty bags, I would have thought that thing rolled out of the showroom!
Thank you, I try to keep it looking good. The deck is almost as nice, but I sprayed it with metal protector half a dozen years ago when I got it. Unfortunately it keeps that dirty look.
Mowing pasture this morning. Forever mowing.
Some of you are still waiting for snow to melt and things to dry out.
I've been mowing since Mid February.

He already does
he’s been running it for a couple years now, daughter (6) will drive it around too. Both kids would prefer to be outside over inside 
a garden bedder.
mine is homemadeish
I originally got the bedder on sale at tsc, but it wasn’t quite wide enough to get the tines out far enough to cover up the tire tracks, so added a 2 inch receiver and an atv 60 inch tool bar

Yesterday dig at Lehigh University. Had to use the hoe to get me up on the porch. After doing that, I simply asked them if they'd mind if I just disconnected their railing for the rest of the day hauling materials in/out of the worksite.
In at last..
saw cutting
dig - I was unaware that I'd be digging so close to the wall of glass. Had to dig off center. For those that don't know, doing so easily creates a much wider and gnarly trench. But, it still worked and I didn't break anything.
Pipe
concrete
loading out
done
home at 9pm. sleep and ready for day 2

If anybody asks you if you are any good with the back hoe, this is the pic I would show them. Glass intact, dirt nicely stacked, I’m impressed. Well done.

There was a large tree about 6 feet away from the cleanout (first pic under the track and mats) that was removed last week. Roots found their way all the way down (6 foot depth) to the cleanout. The root got into the cleanout joint, broke the seam and found a nice source of "water".
Hard to tell if the original joint was primed/glued correctly. Either way, they got thru the pvc connection.

You're way to kind. Looks like an ugly trench to me. As I said, they get ugly when you're pulling the bucket on an angle. I'd rather had the mini to dig it close to the wall like that, but, it still worked out in the end.
I'm jealous seeing all those garden and dirt work projects going on. We still have plenty of winter left here in NE VT.
Tuesday I pushed last weeks snow out of my little log landing. On the way out there I tidied up the road edges and broke an access hole thru the snow bank into where I am cutting. I mounted the camera on the front of the ROPS just for fun. Quality isn't the best because of the vibration but you can see how I use the plow.
